      Bonus fact did you know a tea isn't a true tea unless it has tea leaf. If a beverage doesn't have tea leaf in it it's not considered a tea, but a tincture. All actual tea is derived from the same plant, however when these plants are harvested and the region of where they are grown can give a different flavor. My fiance knows soooo much about tea and I think that's why this person said "like a hibiscus tea" because this tincture doesn't have actual tea :)

    ❤️THANK YOU for posting this! Here’s some great nutritional value many don’t know about Jamaica:
    1. It’s a great diuretic and will carry out extra fluids and toxins from the body.
    2. Because of the high level of acid in Jamaica it is good for weight loss (acid absorbs carbohydrate starches and sugars). If you want to lose weight then replace the sugar with STEVIA.
    3. Speaking of losing weight, you can use this as a sports drink to replenish your body fluids. Again if using for weight loss and weight maintenance limit the sugar or use STEVIA.
    * I personally do not use sugar in my diet at all. If I use sugar of any kind I use STEVIA, that’s my personal preference. I keep an ALKALINE diet.
    ** Sugar is highly acidic which attracts and breeds cancer cells.
    4. Jamaica is also known to prevent cancer because it’s acid called Protacatechuic which is an antioxidant agent.
    5. It lowers cholesterol.
    6. It controls blood pressure.
    7. It has lots of good Vitamin C! 😊
    This drink is a great summer drink and many lose weight drinking it because it’s a great diuretic, but again control the amount sugar you put in it. It is rather bitter of you don’t put sugar in it. You can squeeze LIME into it for added DETOXIFICATION of the body and more benefits.

    It’s called ‘flor de Jamaica’ or ‘Jamaica flower’ in Mexico. In Jamaica we call it ‘Sorrel’. It is actually a variety of Hibiscus, and it looks like tiny okras on the plant. It comes in four colours that I know of. A dark red/purple, red, pink and pale green. Each makes a slightly different flavour of the beverage. It is very acidic! It must be made in a non- reactive container like glass or stainless steel. In Jamaica this is steeped with dried spices (cloves, cinnamon, bay, orange peel, star anise etc) and fresh ginger and served at Christmas. It can also be made into a sauce or chutney similar to cranberry sauce.

    My parents used to drink this because it was said to be a good supplement for weight loss, which is obviously not effective (I think they didn't add the sugar cuz that would cancel it out but as I said, even like that it is just a superstition). It's called Jamaica because in Spanish, the flower is called Flor de Jamaica (Flower of Jamaica or Jamaican Flower/Jamaica Flower).
    Btw, the music you used on the background is salsa, and salsa is not Mexican, it's from the Caribbean (specifically from Cuba and popularized by Cubans and Puertoricans). Just a thought. I love your videos! 🤗

    As a Mexican, we use this method: add water to the pot then added hibiscus, let it steam to boil around 20-30 minutes. After that let it cool down at least 2-3 hours or just put ice on it. Then we add water to dilute it ( depends how much less bitterness you want or more ) then last you add sugar ( again it depends how much sweet you want )and voilà! Done! Congratulations you made your own Mexican Jamaica!

    🌸 In Trinidad they make sorrel, you delicately cut away the petals avoiding the green cactus type prickly seed. Wash and boil it
    It makes a wonderful drink, you have to put spices to taste while boiling such as cinnamon stick, cloves, cardamom etc
    Then it’s a concentrated drink you add bit more water to & sugar or sweetener to taste. We do make hibiscus sauce, drink or soup.
    The hibiscus grows in abundance in Trinidad & Tobago with different varieties 🇹🇹
